Very San Francisco vibes: The Queer Tarot Happy Hour was scheduled at the same time as the Grindr Meet Up* and just before the WTF Drum and Bass dance party. At the Stud, because of course it was.
* It was a happy hour for employees who work at Grindr.
Um what is going on?

I’ve never been as terrified of my government and my society as I am right now. My only way of coping is to share the good queer and trans stuff in my life.
Here are some photos from last night. The dolls gave a great show, and the crowd was ENTRANCED by them.
John, an old friend from the early 2000s blogging era, met up with me for dinner last night. This is the first time we’ve met up in person. I’m glad I suggested this restaurant; it was delicious and quiet; we could take our time; and there was a huge night market going on in the Castro afterward. We walked over to 18th in front of Mollie Stone where we connected with Tina and saw a drag show hosted by Sister Roma with Willam, Sonique, Adore Delano and Jorgeous. There was a rare magic in the air; the vibe in the Castro felt like one of the old Pink Saturdays.
Over dinner, I was telling John that Mastodon reminds me of the best social parts of the old blogging days. I mean where else would you meet up for someone for dinner and feel like you are picking up a conversation that you’ve been having online for years.
When I saw this large street poster I knew I wanted a pic in front of it.
It wasn’t until I got home that I realized that my poster, which has the deadly sins of Pride and Wrath, was completely appropriate since the words on the poster are lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery.

I love this photo of me and @toddo who is on a bit of a social media sabbatical for the moment.
The crowd was inspirational, and seeing so many people come together was powerful. The right to peacefully protest is embedded in the Constitution. It felt really good to be out in it.
